Well, adults know the disaster that numbers like that portend. (See also how Congress this year loosened the pension plan contribution requirements for poorly-run and on-the-edge companies... Watch for the hue and cry for a taxpayer-paid bailout to come, as the pols (and the executives responsible for plan mismanagement and fudged numbers) scream 'save us from our own mismanagement... we are TOO BIG to fail!') IMO, it's not the pension plan rules that 'need to be loosened', it's the bankruptcy laws that need to be changed to give pension plan participants a higher claim on bankruptcy assets.
